[4-Week Completion Challenge] Practical! Introduction to FastAPI

From REST API design and ORM processing to session/JWT user authentication, you can learn easily and enjoyably through
step-by-step tutorials.

Why FastAPI?

A popular framework sought after by developers

FastAPI is a Python web framework that has been gaining rapid attention in recent years.
Since its release in 2018, the number of stars has increased dramatically, showing a faster growth rate than Django or Flask, and
as of April 2026, the number of stars exceeded 96,000,
recording the highest number among all Python web frameworks.

The framework chosen by global companies

FastAPI has established itself as an essential tool for implementing AI services or data-driven backends thanks to its asynchronous processing, automatic API document generation, and concise code structure,
and it is being adopted as a backend technology by big tech companies such as
Netflix, Microsoft, and Uber.

FastAPI, the #1 Python web framework!
We will teach you the basic concepts and core usage.

Just follow along. You will naturally build a solid foundation.

In the era of AI, the fundamentals of programming remain essential, and their importance is actually growing. To utilize AI effectively, you must know what to ask for and be able to verify and modify the results. Paradoxically, to excel at Vibe Coding, you must ultimately have a proper understanding of programming. I hope this challenge serves as a great starting point for those new to FastAPI. Furthermore, I hope it provides a small boost in developing the strength to understand and expand on your own, beyond simply using a framework.

For beginners, we introduce the backend development process,
and for seniors, we introduce practical, real-world FastAPI features.

Why this challenge is essential for you

From installing FastAPI to implementing a Todo app, join us with a solid curriculum.

FastAPI basic concepts → CRUD implementation → ORM processing →
